This is the fourth of her albums that I have downloaded over the years. She seems to defy categorisation as she isn't strictly country, nor country rock, nor rockabilly but is uniquely herself, a combination of loads of stuff. Her voice just entices me, making me want to listen by the way she sings, like she's an alluring mythical siren ( did I really just type that ??? ). Anyway there seems to be more to her than being just a singer/songwriter. I myself am usually into to Blues music and old forms of 1950's Louisiana RnB ( plus the likes of Lucinda Williams and Tom Waits ) but Lindi seems to have the ability to make me stray further by wrapping me up in her charm. My two favourite tracks are 'Demons Don't Let me Down' and 'Murder Of Crows', the latter being pure excellence.

Recently new to "country" music (I'm normally into rock music) - I started by hearing Ashley Monroe on Radio 2 (like a rose) then i listened to a bit more of her music - which is fantastic, then my music app of choice ( I won't name it here as its not Amazon!) recommended I listen to Kacey Musgraves - again a fantastic record. Then I saw an article on line where a few people were mentioning Lindi Ortega...so I listened to one album, then the next, then the next. Then I watched some of her gigs on youtube, and am now hooked. For the immediate "catchy" songs check out "Hard as this", "I'm no Elvis Presley", "Blue Bird" and "The day you die". Wonderful songs, a beautiful voice, and a great guitarist backing her too. This is the best "country" you can get - highly recommend you buy this record now !!! Also check out Ashley and Kacey too, equally fabulous !

This album is the follow-up to Little Red Boots, and was actually bought at the same time. Lindi Ortega writes some truly beautfiul lyrics, real poetry sung in a beautiful clear voice which can sound a bit like Dolly Parton with a hint of Emmylou Harris in it. There are so many excellent tracks that it is hard to pick a favourite, and there are many contenders! If you like good stories in your songs, there is no better place to start.

This album is amazing from start to finish. Every single song is strong and there is variety from bluegrass to swing to moving ballads. a must buy for any country fan searching for something new to listen to.
